 “I’d Like the memories of me to be happy ones each time you think of me, remember to smile because of the good times we’ve shared, it was all worthwhile. I’d like the tears of those who grieve to dry before the sun of happy memories that I leave behind when life is done. Bury your sorrows in doing good deeds, miss me but let me go. For God saw it was time to call me home, know in your hearts, I’m not alone. Loving Submitted, the Family.
